Abstract

Over years, translators have been incorporating new advances in technology into their work. A number of attempts in developing ideal translator’s workstations using technology have been made, one of such stations is a Computer-Aided Translation (CAT) tool. CAT tools facilitate translators to increase their productivity and efficiency by providing them with some utilities, such as a Translation Memory and an Alignment Tool to support their translation works. This article highlights the usefulness of SDL Trados 2014, as one of the most widely used paid CAT tools, in translating the texts more effectively and in a timely manner. Further, it describes the basic steps in using SDL Trados and exemplifies SDL Trados 2014 translation results. A sample text was translated from Indonesian to English using both Across (a free CAT tool) and SDL Trados (a paid CAT tool). Eventually, the results of translating using both CAT tools appear to prove that SDL Trados helps the translators to translate more consistently, accurately, effectively and in a timely-manner.

Abstract

TRAINING FOR TOURISM AWARENESS GROUPS: MAKING TOURISM VILLAGE BROCHURES IN ENGLISH. The community service activity was conducted in the form of online training intended for representatives of tourism awareness groups (Pokdarwis). Focusing on enabling the participants to create English brochures promoting their respective tourism villages, the rationale of conducting this training was to empower the participants to be able to advertise the potential of their respective tourism villages to foreigners. The training was conducted in seven sessions from 6 October 2021 up to 1 December 2021. The first session was on the principles of good brochures in terms of design, whilst the next six sessions were on how to write the sections of the brochure in English. The second session was on how to write about villages’ profiles and potentials. The third was on villages’ history and uniqueness. The fourth, fifth, and sixth were on various activities available for visiting tourists. The seventh or last session was the celebration of learning. In conclusion, the training was sufficiently successful despite the low attendance rate. Future programmes could be preceded with more sound needs analysis to ensure not only the relevance of the training materials but also the prospective participants;’ interests in joining such programmes.

Abstract

Despite the growing research on TikTok as a language learning tool, studies examining TikTok soundtracks to learn L2 vocabulary are still scarce, especially among non-English major students in Indonesia. This study aims to investigate Indonesian non-English-major university students’ attitudes and perceptions towards the use of English TikTok soundtracks for second language (L2) vocabulary learning. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, using a nine-item Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to 117 participants from 54 universities across 17 provinces in Indonesia. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six purposively selected participants. Quantitative findings revealed positive attitudes across four categories: perceived effectiveness, emotional engagement, convenience, and perceived enjoyment, with a mean score of 3.48. Perceived enjoyment received the highest mean score (M=3.57). Quantitative findings revealed three themes: English TikTok soundtracks help students understand vocabulary in context, provide a supportive, low-anxiety learning environment, and facilitate pronunciation development. Both quantitative and qualitative findings suggest that TikTok functions as an engaging tool for L2 vocabulary learning outside the classroom. The study contributes to the body of research and literature in language education and in the potential of TikTok soundtracks as a complementary resource for vocabulary and pronunciation development in informal learning contexts.
